Volunteer Highlight of the Month: TROSA Volunteers
By: Mal Atkinson, Resource Coordinator
Teamwork and helping others are key tenets of TROSA’s recovery program. TROSA residents provided more than 125 volunteer hours assisting Durham Parks and Recreation with two of our annual events this year. With the return of Earth Day Celebration and the 52nd annual Bimbé Cultural Arts Festival in 2022, TROSA was instrumental in the success of the events. The volunteers weathered the heat, rain, and storms during the Bimbé Festival yet their commitment of service to others never wavered. They helped create memories for the thousands of people attending our events.

Colleen Toomey, Recreation Manager with Durham Parks and Recreation wanted to share her gratitude and appreciation to the TROSA organization and the volunteers who helped with vendor setup during both Earth Day and Bimbé. She said, “They really did an amazing job, unattended, getting all of the vendors into place." Those assigned to setup worked so hard as well getting the stage secured, signs up, and the entire site ready for the day. The afternoon volunteers helped to keep the site cleaner than we have ever seen it on an event day. They all were awesome! We are thankful, grateful and humbled that TROSA chose to share their members with us.
